A New SwindIe.

The torn check swindle is being
worked in some parts of the east
greatly to the sorrow of the victims
of the scheme. This is the way fhe'
thing is done. A check, say for $40,
is obtained from a depositor at a
bank, and a blank check exactly like
the flled-in check is secured. Both
checks are then torn irregularly
across and in such a way that the sig
nature on the filled check appears on
one piece and the amount and payee
on the other. The check having
been held together while being torn,
one piece of the blank check will ex7
actly fit the other piece of the filled
check. The swindler then fills in
one piece of the blank check with the
name of the payee and the amount
to suit himself. takes it with;the piece
of genuine check containing the sig
nature of the hank, and explains
that the check was accidentally torn.
The teller can put the pieces together
and as they fit exactly the chances
are that he will think that the pieces
are parts of the same check and be-
come a victim of the swindle.

washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 2, 1887.
Only a few more days and the mall
lets,will fall on Capitol Hill, the stars
and stripes will be hoisted to the
breeze, announcing the birth of the
First session of the 50th Congress
opened ready for business. The
Senate and House have both been
thoroughly renovated-new carpets,
new furniture, desks revarnished,
electric lights substituted for gas, and
everything that goes to make a public
Office a public beauty has been looked
after. Both halls arc as neat and
clean as a newly made pin.
Congressman are arriving on every
train, and it is expected that bySun-
day night all will be in and ready
for roll call Monday at noon.
Tariff, Tariff, Tariff What are
your views as to the prospects for a
reduction of the tariff this winter":'
is the first thing that rings in a Con-
CHEESEMAN'S ears when he steps from
the cars. The newspaper reporters
are on the alert for these gentlemen,
and it's tariff this and tariff that,
three times a day, breakfast, lunch
and for dinner served with a civil
service spoon, and such is the life of
a Congressman. The Representa-
tives that have arrived up to date
have all been interviewed upon this
all important question. with but one
exception-Mr. Randall, who declines
to speak at present-and all agree
that there must be a reduction of the
revenues this winter. Some are in
favor of a. compromise, which is
looked upon as the only means of
harmonizing the party. At present
it looks as though Mr.. Randall is 60
ing to fix things to suit himself, and
which ever way Sammy points his fin
ger, the windis going to blow. Any
way the men who have been making
the hard fight for tariff reduction are
more hopeful than they have ever
been before.
Christmas.-It is nearing that time
that every little child looks forward
to with delight, Santa Claus annual
tour amongst the young folks. Big
preparations are being made by all
the stores to furnish Santa with any
thing that he may ask for. The big
show windows on 9TH street and Penn
syIvania avenue, trimmed with all
kinds of christmas presents, charms
the eyes of the little ones, and big
ones too. Each store tries to Guido
the other. hence we are given some
gorgeous displays in this line.
Minnie PaI,ner.-The chief attrac-
ton at the theatres this week is the
engagement of dainty Minnie
Palmer at Albaugh's Grand Opera
House. in "My Sweetheart" a
charming musical fantasy in three
acts, and Minnie's welcome to this city
after a four years tour around the
world was an overlooking one
Crowded house, charming audience
and beautiful flowers greeted her at
every performance. She is light and
as spry as a 16 year old girl on the
stage, yet she is, I am told, nearing
her forties. She has n national rcpu-
tation for her beautiful performing
therefore criticism is unwarranted,
and it can be undoubtedly said that
Minnie is as sweet rs ever Doc.

Representative O'Ferrall of Vir-
ginia, in talking to the Alexandria
Gazette's correspondent, said his feel
ings were altogether in favor of nomi-
mating aSouthern Democrat for Vice
President on the next national ticket,
but that he was not sure about the
policy of such a nomination. Re-
specting revenue measures, he said
he was almost sure that n reduction
would be made in the revenue dur
ing the coming session of Congress,
and that he thought that reduction
would be effected by the removal of
the internal revenue tax on leaf to-
bacco and the removal of the tariff
on the ~necessaries of life. He says
he made his last canvass on a reve-
nue. tariff, and that the people of his
district sustained him was proved
not only by his election, but by the
glaring fact that even the Mines
precinct in Page county, the manu-
featuring precinct of his district,
gave him forty majority though it
had previously given n hundred
Republican majority. All the people
wanted, he said, to make them tariff
reformers, was correct information.

The dead body of w. c. j. Wey,
a musician at the Virginia Military
Institute, was found in a ravine near
Lexington last week, with evidences
that his death had come about by
foul play. The coroner's jury rem
dered a verdict that he was murdered
by Jennie Brown, and that Harry
Brown, Chas. Morris and Mag Brown,
all colored, were accessories to the
murder.
